This book was conceived in the context of a Master’s degree at the University of Leiden. In her introduction, Visscher highlights the proliferation of studies regarding the relationship between the king and the intellectuals officiating in the context of the Ptolemaic court, in contrast to the lack of such a study for the Seleucid world. With this in mind, the title “Beyond Alexandria” leaves no doubt about the main orientation of the book; in addition to reflecting the primacy usually attributed to the Alexandrians in the study of Hellenistic literature, it also reveals the ambition of treating the rivalry between the Lagids and the Seleucids through the prism of literature. The author thus presents her objective as illustrating the interconnectivity of literature in the Hellenistic world that was born from the conquests of Alexander the Great and the partition of his empire.
'Beyond Alexandria' argues for the existence of a distinctive Seleucid literature, with its own preferred genres and thematic concerns. It proposes new readings of these authors and argues that they can be understood only in the wider political context, especially in relation to the Ptolemies as the Seleucids' main rivals.
